    Oasis Ad

    What the is that ad all about? Apart from annoying me!!

    All I can figure out is you drink Oasis if you are a runaway slapper, or a guy with a prick on his head!

    Cactus Jack doesn't like water so he drinks Oasis which is just as good for him.
    I have no idea why he is with that girl though surely the ad would have made more sense if he ran away with a girl cactus.

    I wonder who makes these ads up...can you imagine the look on the faces around the table when the one who came up with this first described it? :)

    I was thinking that the other day when I saw a breakfast cereal ad that ended with the strapline "You won't like it" or something along those lines. So someone at the ad agency came up with this idea, persuaded his colleagues and superiors that it was good and then took it to the client and managed to persuade them it was right for their product. How? I know it's supposed to be reverse psychology and all but it's a risky strategy

    well the ad has worked everybody talking about haven't seen it myself though.
    sometimes an advert isn't about selling the product but promoting the brand which this has obviously done as shows above.
    a stroke of genius maybe

    No. Because they can't put together a simple ad, I certainly wouldn't buy it, and the point of an ad is to sell, brand name does not make money on its own.

    I know what you're saying here...its like the Marmite ads isnt it? There must be a fine balance between getting it just right and having a nightmare. Its perhaps why these people are more than likely paid large salaries to come up with these ideas. That ad has just come on Mat while typing this...Its Nestle Oats & More...looks disgusting.

    They have banned the oasis ad .

    It encourages underage pregnancy ( even though the girl is twenty ), and suggests oasis is a substitute for water.
    Poor cactus he's out of work now.

    I think they should pay more attention to keeping people who smoke off the screens first.....I doubt Oasis has long term cancer effects

    Which did a report recently, and Tony the tiger, the coco-pops monkey and various others are getting blamed for childhood obesity.

    Absolutely nothing to do with parents

    I'm 40 and the cereals we ate were Sugar Puffs (the clue is in the name) and Frosties. What's worse is we put sugar on top as well but kids just weren't fat then. Well, maybe 1 per school but they got the pee ripped out of them constantly.

    I've never understood the attraction of bestiality but looking back over my life it does appear as though I married a cow, lived with a moose, been out with at least 5 dogs and spent a lot of time being chased by whales.

    You're right. Although we also had accidents then too and not 'opportunites to sue someone'.


    As for people copying adverts, well, if they're that stupid let them get on with it.
